What is/are the best teams to try to grab up in D1-A recruiting wise? I should be able to grab an elite this year, but should I consider a school like Oregon with no real competition? Or should I definitely take an elite over the rest? And what are the best elites to grab up location and competition wise? It always seems like Penn State is killing recruiting and the rankings...

Yes I am referring to my Beta team but posted in this forum b/c I'm guessing it is checked more often... Didn't get Penn State oh well. But am I right to think that you take an elite if possible over all others?

Penn State already has a coach from this past season. I think the only elite still open is Alabama.

I wasn't trying to be a jerk. Season 5 and 6, they had a coach (dewagne) and the reason you wouldn't be able to get the job.
As far as your question, that depends on your style of recruiting. I found Florida State to be a challenge, but if you are a good recruiter you will be fine anywhere you decide to coach.

The world is mostly empty at DIA, elites are now full... didnt notice if you had one before posting this. If you don't and haven't moved, look in areas of the country where coached teams are scarce or where there is a lot of talent for that level.
